Corner of a pretty (ominous) orange-colored sky

I have a page finish and a bit more to complete the latest HAED 10,000 stitches challenge.


Here's what Pattern Keeper looks like after zooming out. I have a long way to go. 3799 has over 100,000 stitches just on it's own...


But, onto the next project. I do have to catch up with the Lanarte Mystery SAL. But I spent some time this week on my stash cataloging (check out my projects page). I have a lot of patterns in my bottom drawer (and I just ordered a few more).

I think I mentioned last week I'm going to take photos of my hand-dyed collection and try and pair them with some of my no-background charts.

And I've been thinking about participating in Stitch Maynia this year. However I don't know if that would be a variation on my dice rolling, or suspend it. I actually have the material to start 30 HAED charts. However I think I'd stick to kits and some pieces that were given in whole skeins only. Still up in the air for now. Maybe I'll do a post a day about my no backgrounds.

I need a bigger ort catcher. Or at least not a snack baggie. Usually this is fine, but I'm doing so much stitching, I'm running out of room.


And some new stash. The Fairy Biscornu is kitted.

A bit of ADD

I seem to be a bit all over the place this week. Let me walk you through it. Sunday, I have declared this day to be for 'insanity'. I shall try and keep this up. So Monday, I picked up a new cross-stitch, Mystical Wizard. More on that later but here are the colors. Wednesday, I decided to work on one of my sewing projects. A 17.5" stuffed Christmas tree. I was going to make the 12" one but I had enough fabric if I ignored the included cutting diagram and got away with 1/8" less. But come Thursday, I was tired of my cross stitch. There's only so much I could take of stitching blue on blue, and mainly two colors of blue. Of course the upper left is the least interesting part color-wise of this piece. So I switched to The Accolade. I'll include the last photo I took of it (with my old phone) because I didn't get that many rows finished. But not bad for only two days.   And as today is Sunday, I worked on Insanity again. And...

DWTS season 19: week 7

Tommy. It was muddy and he seemed to forget some of it. As usual. I notice they didn't mention the break in hold during the dance. Too high. Lea. It felt careful. It could've used more power, controlled power. It felt like she was walking through it. Not worth 9s. Bethany. I liked it and her dress. I think she missed a step during a side by side but got caught up. There were moments she could've filled instead of just pausing. I don't know if it was 10s definitely 9s. Antonio. Not a lot of actual Viennese Waltz. He didn't do much. I agree with the scores. Michael. Just, no. 5s are generous. Janel. A tad slow for a Viennese Waltz. But it was interesting. A little low. Alfonso. She danced around him a lot. I didn't see too much hip action. Technique needs work. I'll give him the scores based on performance. Sadie. The character didn't work with the dance. She was too loose. I'll give them the scores. Team dances Its...
